Distributed computing problems

Timing failure

Timing failure is a failure of a process, or part of a process, in a synchronous distributed system or real-time system to meet limits set on execution time, message delivery, clock drift rate, or clock skew. Asynchronous distributed systems cannot be said to have timing failures as guarantees are not provided for response times. * v * t * e (Wikipedia).

Why do some space launches fail?

Any space aficionado will tell you that sometimes space launches can go horribly wrong. Indeed, we have all watched a launch online only to see it delayed. What happens in these cases and what can be done to prevent such problem? Watch the video to find out more. Find out more infor

Why Time Delay Matters | Control Systems in Practice

Time delays are inherent to dynamic systems. If you’re building a controller for a dynamic system, it’s going to have to account for delay in some way. Time-Delay Systems: Analysis and Design with MATLAB and Simulink: http://bit.ly/2C354yp Time delays exist in two varieties: signal dist

One Shot Timing Circuit

http://www.mekanizmalar.com/menu_pneumatic.html The one shot circuit is used to shorten long signals which may still be actuating a valve when it is necessary to reset the same valve. The circuit output appears as soon as the limit valve is actuated. The output is shut off after a delay

Timeboxing for Programmers

Everyone who has ever programmed has gotten stuck on a problem. I used to try my best to solve it myself because I'm too stubborn to ask for help. I want to figure it out myself. However, this isn't the best way to go about things. When working on my own projects, I should turn to Stack Ov

The human nature of failure & resiliency

Projects fail in droves. Systems hiccup and hours of downtime follows. Screws fall out all the time; the world is an imperfect place. We talk a lot about building resilient systems, but all systems are (at least for now) built by humans. Humans who have been making the same types of mista

Embedded Recipes 2018 - Finding sources of latency in your system - Steven Rostedt

Having just an RTOS is not enough for a real-time system. The hardware must be deterministic as well as the applications that run on the system. When you are missing deadlines, the first thing that must be done is to find what is the source of the latency that caused the issue. It could be
